Prepare for Paradigms to Shift

Transformation isn’t about technology (or even data). It’s about how people use the technology to accomplish things they couldn’t before.

It’s all too common to release a new product only to have it absorbed back into the organizational bloodstream because no one was prepared to act differently.

It isn't enough to train users on new tools. And it isn't enough to build great tech and models. If no one uses it to operate the business in a new way, no advantage is ever realized.

This value drain is one of the most essential because it erodes trust in the products themselves. Even when they perform well, they look like hype from an outside perspective. Businesses can handle some unexpected cost, when they are able to experience improved business outcomes as a result of the product. But no amount of "on-time and on-budget" can make up for a tool that was never used.

As data scientist and data leaders, we have been on the forefront of this battle for a long time. Gaining business adoption goes well beyond the surface level resistance to change. To maximize the investment, you have to break out of patterned thinking while also enabling your business leaders to take risks.

• Ambitious talent who are not enabled to make the new choices they want to make.

• Leaders who are unaware of how engrained their patterned thinking goes, take small incremental steps or even no steps at all.

We have a series of engagements designed to work with both your leaders and your top talent. We work through patterned thinking and break down the assumptions that get in our way. We get cross-functional teams planning out the possible in a way that fosters innovation and collaboration.

This is where HSD is founded on more than just an understanding of data science. We understand human behavior, mindset and most importantly, how to recognize and break out of our personal and collective patterns. Like I said, we've been on the forefront of transformation for a long time - and it's about so much more than just algorithms and technology.

As we see businesses becoming more and more risk averse, readiness to change is a significant challenge. We hit it at the root and collaborate with leaders to prepare for a new way of looking at things, so they are ready to pick up the ball and run after launch.
